What do you get when you combine a horror movie with a travelogue?

Today, Sony and Yekra is releasing Afflicted, an intriguing horror thriller shot in the "found footage" documentary style, online as a video on demand. The movie is about two best friends Derek and Clif (played by real life besties Derek Lee and Clif Prowse as themselves) as they embark on a trip around the world.

Somewhere in Paris, they encountered a beautiful woman and their vacation takes a dark turn as Derek wakes up with a mysterious affliction. The pair, now thousands of miles from home in a strange land, have to race against time to figure out the source of the diease before it fully consumes him.

The micro-budget film, Lee and Prowse's first (and as thus charmingly stars their friends and family, and even has clips of their high school home movies), got quite a warm welcome by horror fans in Canada and abroad. Afflicated won Best Picture (Horror) at Austin's Fantastic Fest, as well as awards of recognitions from the Toronto International Film Festival.

Check out the trailer - if this is your cup of tea, then you can stream it directly here (note: you can view it at full monitor size. Yekra, the clip provider, shares a portion of the proceed with this blog).

Your teenager has a messy room? So did Craig Schlichenmeyer. But Craig didn't just grumble about it! After his daughter failed to clear out her room, the Long County, Georgia father decided to do it for her ... the extreme way!

Schlichenmeyer moved the daughter's entire room out onto the driveway, with a big sign that read "Haley, room moved to driveway. Clean it next time."

"One day I had enough of it, I picked up her belongings and set her room up in the driveway," Schlichenmeyer said to WTOC. "I just set her room up the same way it's set up upstaris in the driveway. To shock her."

The father said that his daughter is actually a great kid, and that even though she was upset at first, but they'd worked it out in the end. They even took advantage of having all that furniture out of the way: they spent the day painting her room.

The next time you go shopping at your local supermarket, head down the breakfast cereal aisle and take a look all the different brands. You'd probably notice that breakfast cereals marketed to children usually have characters, and those characters tend to lok downward. Why is that?

Business Insider reported that researchers at the Cornell University Food and Brand Lab have surveyed cereal brands from various grocery stores and found that most characters in cereals marketed to kids have downward gaze.

Aner Tal and Brian Wansink of Cornell University, in collaboration with Aviva Musicus of Yale University, surveyed 65 cereal brands and found that out of 87 spokes-characters, 57 were marketed to children with a downward gaze. In contrast, characters in cereal brands geared toward adults tend to look straight ahead. And that may not be a coincidence: adult cereals tend to be placed higher than kids' brands and their characters' gazes are designed to make eye contact with their targeted audience.

But why is making eye contact important? The researchers performed another study where they showed participants two versions of the Trix cereal box, one with the rabbit making eye contact and another in which it did not (Silly researchers, don't they know that Trix are for kids?). They found that people trusted the brand at higher rate and felt more connected when the rabbit made eye contact.

So the next time Cap'n Crunch is staring down at your kid, you know the reason.

You may not like Daylight Saving Time, but now you can't say that it's completely useless. In fact, it could've been what foiled a terrorist plot.

The Daily Mirror reported that police thought that an Irish bomber probably blew himself up because he forgot to set his clock forward an hour while planting a bomb.

"This certainly was a high-grade explosive used in this bomb," said the paper's anonymous source. "It wasn't garbage stuff. It would appear the bomber got his timings wrong. It could be a case where he didn't put his watch forward on Sunday [at 1 am] and the timer went off too soon."

The car was destroyed in the blast, but the perpetrator escaped with serious injuries. The local police are seeking information from the public to apprehend the bumbling bomber. (Image: Twitter/@PoloBoy)

We know, we know. English is one crazy language. But that's why we love it.

Mitchell Moffit of AsapSCIENCE fame (this one is from his AsapTHOUGHT channel) took Richard Lederer's Crazy English and Richard Krogh's The English Lesson to illustrate the idiosyncracies of the English language.

But if English is logical, what would we be talking about?
